Every American should read Ray Heimbuch's account of his experience as a POW during World War II. The book is extremely well-written, portraying vivid descriptions of scenery as well as emotions. I was especially moved by his account of being squeezed in a tight space to live under conditions that seemed unbearable. A unique aspect of this book is the fact that Ray's brother was a POW at the same time. Ray gives details of his families reaction to his return home that will lift the human spirit. School libraries should have this book as supplemental materials for American history classes. This is one book I plan to keep within reach to remind me of the wonderful freedoms I enjoy as an American. Thanks to Ray Heimbuch for sharing his personal and painful story with us!

Excellent service - the book came on the expected due date and was in excellent condition. I would order from this provider again. The story was written by a POW that was imprisoned with my Dad in WWII and shed a lot of light on what life was like for the thousands of jap prisoners of war.
